parkrun

parkrun was established in 2004 with 13 runners getting together in a park in Teddington, UK. They have now grown into an international family of over half a million runners (and counting).

parkrun runs every weekend in countries all around the world, with a 5km run on Saturdays or if you are a junior; a 2km on Sundays. Each event is based in a unique location like a park, beach or promenade and it doesn't matter how fast you go or what you are wearing, all that matters is taking part.
